schestowitzFirs in a very long timeFeb 28 23:35
schestowitz"Trolls in kamikaze mode"Feb 28 23:35
schestowitz"COLA (comp.os.linux.advocacy) is a newsgroup originally designed to bring advocacy of Linux under a common roof. It is not a place for people to defame Linux advocates, it never was. Putting aside Microsoft's own admission that it infiltrates newsgroups to smear its competition (c/f Comes vs Microsoft and more), the group is about particular subjects, not about people. Well-behaved Linux advocates (the majority of those who Feb 28 23:38
schestowitzare anti-advocates are, by definition, Internet trolls) respect these rules. In other newsgroup this has always been the case. If someone had a grudge against another poster, he or she would be berated by everyone for distracting from the newsgroups's focus."Feb 28 23:38
schestowitz"The Net -- like newspapers and television -- always evolves somewhat.  Better forms of media are found to get across a message and develop ideas or code. Speaking for myself, I develop every day, always under GNU/Linux, simply because it's better. I also still write about FOSS, simply because it's better. But this newsgroup was unlucky enough to attract crooks and criminals who constantly seek to destroy it, with personal Feb 28 23:40
schestowitzinsults not just to posters but also to members of their family. They resort to libel, e.g. against my Fiancée, and it all boils down to intimidation. It is just a lot of libel, which begs for response (feeding the trolls) and an endless loop of s**t."Feb 28 23:40
schestowitz"One can carry on posting to COLA, but almost everything that gets posted in COLA can also be posted elsewhere -- places where civilised debates can carry on. The same thugs and criminals who hounded and defamed me here for years have their accounts terminated very quickly for violation the ToS in other platforms. They are like fugitives."Feb 28 23:41
schestowitz"I'm not sure if this abuse matters so much or not, but this is merely a distraction. The matter of fact is, with almost a million Linux/Android devices activated per day, in some sense Linux has already won. It has too much inertia to be stopped. Several years ago we joked among ourselves that Linux advocacy would become obsolete when Linux becomes so widespread that advocacy gets belittle by mainstream/corporate press, such Feb 28 23:42

schestowitz"The trolls lost. Linux won. No need to for them ignore, laugh, and fight anymore. They just do the kamikaze now."Feb 28 23:43
